IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-DASHERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 55,313, dated June 5, 1866.

-To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, A. KIRLIN, of Rock Island, Rock Island county, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ghurn-Dashers, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will lenable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part ol' this specification.

The present invention consists in forming the staff of the dasher of a churn hollow, and so arranging the air-pump therein that, as the dasher is moved up and down, air shall be drawn through the flasher-staff and forced into the bottom ofthe churn, passing and circulating through the cream contained therein.

In accompanying plate of drawings my improvement in churn-dashers is illustrated, Figure l being a central vertical section through the staff of the flasher, and Fig. 2 a plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

A in the drawings represents the staff, the lower end of which has a tube or pipe, B, attached to it, forminga continuation thereof, which tube is open at its lower end, and is secured to a dasher, C, playing upon vertical guide-posts D of the lower dasher, E. To the center of the lower dasher, E, a pump-rod, F, is attached, extending up through the hollow end of the tube or pipe B, with its upper end suitably packed, so as to form a tight joint therewith, and with a valve-box, G, in its center having its Valve hung so as to open` downward. Through the rod F, below the valve H, openin gs I are made, forming a communication between it and the tube or pipe B. In upper end of tube B a valve, J, is hung, opening downward, above which openings K are made to allow a communication thereto.

By the above-described arrangement and construction of the dasher-shaft it is plain to be seen that by depressing and raising the same air is necessarily forced down and through its valves into the cream in which the dashers work, the importance of which is manifest without any particular allusion to it herein.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The construction of the double dasher-shaft, in combination with the puInp-rod, when arranged together substantially as and for the purpose described.

A. KIRLIN.
